Masterful Coaching – ICF Minimum Skills Requirements with ANAT

MCC Minimum Skills Requirements 

The purpose of the MCC Minimum Skills Requirements is to outline the essential skills needed to demonstrate competency at the MCC level. The document follows the ICF Core Competencies and in each competency you will come across the following sections: Key Skills, Behaviors Consistent with ICF Standards, and Behaviors Inconsistent with ICF Standards. 

Key Skills. These are based on the ICF Core Competencies and represent the foundational coaching abilities relevant to each competency area, applicable across all credential levels. 

Behaviors Consistent With ICF Standards. These sections describe the observable actions coaches should demonstrate that reflect effective coaching practice at the MCC level. 

Behaviors Inconsistent With ICF Standards. These lists point to actions that may disrupt the coaching process or reduce the quality of the coaching experience, and that do not meet the standards for expected coaching skills at the MCC level. These are included to support coach development and alignment with ICF’s professional standards. 

Tip: For a deeper understanding, compare the MCC Minimum Skills Requirements alongside the ICF Core Competencies — seeing them side by side will give you valuable insights into how they align and help you elevate your coaching practice.
